This talk explores what needs to inform road construction decisions, including evaluating where roads should be built and what practices should be used based on peat conditions.

Linear disturbances such as powerline rights of way, seismic lines and roads are common in areas of intensive resource development. Roads that bisect wetlands can alter their hydrologic connectivity...
